Classic Beef Chili Con Carne

In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned.

Add the onion, minced garlic, and diced red pepper. Cook.

Stir in the chilli powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute to allow the spices to release their flavors.

Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir until it is well incorporated. Then add the tomatoes, beef broth, kidney beans, and black beans. Stir everything together.

Bring chi to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

After an hour, lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve the chili con carne with cream, scions, or sliced jalapeños.
